Sunday Post 389

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3867 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Love One Another Gladly'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's Remedy For Depression' and fourthly, the spam count for the weekend's already forty-one but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHTEEN MINUTES after watching the 6pm bulletin for the 122ND time!!  Actually, won't have time to watch the news coz we're leaving for our once-weekly dinner out, so just noting that I'm really still owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I get home!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Actually, I'd let PIG mum gleefully boot me off to bed that early, I'd already awoken with a full bladder, but when I flipped on the bedside lamp, saw 'twas only 11:55pm! Using the pot :P really quickly, I was back under the covers before the new day arrived, meaning I didn't wake again to use the pot :P until nosy PIG mum began her daily a-thumping around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (only coz dearest dad's home), before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush my teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out to the gobbling :P table when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• In return for PIG mum getting a spoon for me, I cut and spread the avocado over my one slice of toast, she sprinkles it extremely lightly with some salt and I eat that for breakfast along with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  Cheers,
